Cole Train: Holcomb Halting Seemingly Endless Steelers’ ILB Carousel

Since the tragic Ryan Shazier injury in 2017, the Pittsburgh Steelers have seemingly been on an endless merry-go-round at the inside linebacker position.

The Steelers have tried the cheap veteran patchwork deals in free agency with names like Jon Bostic, Mark Barron, Avery Williamson, and Myles Jack, and even via trade with Joe Schobert. Pittsburgh also tried to fill the hole via the NFL Draft, trading up for Devin Bush in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

Things didn’t work out there, either.

So, Pittsburgh got back on the merry-go-round again this offseason, inking Cole Holcomb, Elandon Roberts, Tanner Muse, Nick Kwiatkoski and recently Kwon Alexander to try and find answers at the position.
